I was so young, I didn't understand;
so much hatred, a family torn apart;
I didn't know which way to turn;
Then He was there, there to put me on track;
I was raised around the male species,
Some could say i was belittled to what my expectations could be;
I took it as a gift, A gift i realized was an advantage;
I didn't figure it out on my own, He helped me see it;
When I got a little older, I reached the age of ten;
I never interfered with his work, i simply did what i wanted with his consent;
I was getting to the age of new things, so I saw less of him;
Then on, he was known to me as some1 i see at Christmas,
for a birthday, and my family gatherings;
Later I realized i was sharing this man with the other half of my family;
He was hurt to see that we all couldn't be 1;
I became that teenager every parent dreads;
But he saw otherwise;
He saw my talents, he played the piano for me to sing,
just to hear my voice against the music;
He gave me books to read, great poetry books,
just so that he could see me read;
I wrote my first poem ever, and i felt relieved of all kinds of emotion;
I became a great writer, just like him;
I must now continue my gifts in his name,
likely to succeed and portray the great writer he became;
I feel i was blessed, but not once did i ever tell him thank you;
There are so many things i still don't and Probably will never understand;
I don't understand how i can be this strong, when he's gone!
I am Strong Lord i am strong!
I have 2 families; I am strong!
Why cant two families just be one; I am strong lord!
Lord am i strong enough for this?
